Tune in to the July 6th FedTalk to hear about what’s in store for federal technology for the coming year, including developments on expanded use of artificial intelligence, extended reality, and the unveiling by the Department of Energy of Summit, the world’s most powerful supercomputer.

The Energy Department is lending some supercomputing capacity to the VA for a genetic coding and analysis program that could change how post-traumatic stress disorder and other combat injuries are treated.

Shadow IT is a concept most agencies struggle with — infrastructure that agency personnel implement outside the agency CIO’s approval and outside the agency’s IT architecture strategy. Scott Milliken found a problem that was even more complicated. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose about the problem he found when he became computer facility manager at the Energy Department’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and how he fixed the problems.

Lawrence Korb of the Center for American Progress says sequestration may not be such a bad thing. Buddy Bland talk about upgrades to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s supercomputer. Mark Russo of the FDA talks about food shortages caused by Hurricane Sandy.
